Only now does it occur to me... STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME

Only now does it occur to me... that in STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME (you know, the one with the time travel and saving the whales), when the crew of the Enterprise lands in 1980s San Francisco, they totally look like a multi-culti, ludicrously garbed street gang out of a Cannon Film!
They could absolutely be strolling down a street in DEATH WISH 3 or REVENGE OF THE NINJA, for sure.
Anyway, this soon leads to the most Cannon Film-ish moment in STAR TREK history when on a public bus, Captain Kirk tells a boom-box-blasting punk (who's listening to some generic rip-off Sex Pistols) to turn down his radio.
The punk retorts with a middle finger:

before Spock intercedes with a Vulcan nerve pinch rendering the rude young fellow unconscious:

Naturally, this leads the bus to its intended destination: Slow Clap City.
